Before, I didn't really think much about fundies and their over-wrought sense of glorious victimization. I just thought they were weirdos and ignored them.

Now? I look forward to ways I can contribute to their victimization, individually and severally.

Mercenary martyrdom. This was a premeditated propaganda op complete with the celebutant tour. Kyle Rittenhouse is an extreme example. Curly fry haired gun girl is another example. Every one is entitled to their opinion and beliefs but they aren't entitled to their own facts.

PS: The Bible clearly talks about bearing false witness, aka lying.

If she's a Jr premed, surely she's come across the topic of intersex. Mind blown.

Maybe the real moral of the story is don't teach in Oklahoma if you value reason and empirical data.

Cheeto And His Billionaire Robber Barons

In Vanessa Williamson’s Power of Taxation in American History(https://bit.ly/44Hswxp) she makes the point that cuts through the myths surrounding taxation and democracy, spotlighting how fiscal choices reveal who a country is actually built to serve Does it serve WE the People or does it serve the wealthy?

What becomes unavoidable is the way taxation functions not as an accounting exercise but as an architecture of democracy—one that is deliberately weakened when authoritarian movements want to keep public institutions too poor to challenge private dominance

The history she interrogates shows that when opponents of democracy fear the public’s voice, they don’t just suppress votes; they drain the revenue that makes self-government real This is at the heart of Project 2025 Render the federal government nonfunctional so that the wealthy class can rule through a dictatorship This has always been the Republican Nazi playbook since Reagan in the 1980’s Get the wealthy to replace the "social safety net" BUT by their rules

One such example is Michael Dell of Dell Computers is making a “donation” to kids of low income families to the tune of $6B (yes that’s with a “B”) to fund what will be called “Trump accounts” Of course this is not out of the generous heart of Dell He’s been cajoled to make a Republican Nazi “business deal” donation for Cheeto so he can make good with his “Trump accounts” or baby accounts(https://bit.ly/4oDh2T1)

It is now clear how the Nazi party wants to implement Project 2025 Create programs that businesses will support but can pull at any time at their own discretion leaving WE the People holding nothing Classic counterparty risk and no accountability

I definitely see why she failed.
